Come Home. To Yourself.
Process Groups
We will explore the emotional and relational struggles occurring within a person’s life. Other members will then validate, relate and provide feedback. We will also discuss the dynamics occurring within the group itself in order to maintain a positive healing environment.
Members will slowly, mindfully connect with deeper states of passion and aggression. Through this experience one can alter deeper structures that fuel depression, anxiety and relational problems.
Individual Therapy
I offer a Buddhist-Oriented approach called Contemplative Psychotherapy which requires me to engage in my own meditation and psychotherapy in order to remain clear and compassionate. I can then create a healing space for us to address the various problems in your life.
I will help you to move slowly through the progressive layers of your mind and body. As you work through each layer, various external and internal problems tend to improve.
Training in Group Psychotherapy
In “Trauma-Informed Group Psychotherapy” you will learn how to lead effective therapy groups. This course is ideal for agency therapists who lead psycho-educational and process-oriented groups with traumatized populations. 18 CEUs will be provided for attending all 12 training sessions.
About the Founder
I offer this work because it is me. I enjoy the psychological-spiritual path and engaging with others on it. I have a passion for the study and practice of psychology, groups and leadership. I have been practicing Yoga and Buddhist Meditation for over 20 years. My ongoing practice with meditation, yoga and therapy help me to bring a calm, clear and compassionate presence to the people I work with.
My graduate training at Naropa University placed a primary emphasis on molding the therapist through experiential activities. The training involved participation in group psychotherapy, somatic work and month-long meditation retreats to move us into a more present and compassionate state.
I have also been influenced by the Modern Psychoanalytic approach taught at The Center for Group Studies in NY. This approach offers a powerful method for helping people work with deeper states of passion and anger. I want to share all of this with people to foster healthier, more authentic communities.
Credentials
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Group Psychotherapist and have been a therapist for over 15 years.
